[Verse]
In comes the captain's daughter, the captain of the Yeos,
Saying, "Brave United Irishmen, we'll ne'er again be foes,
A thousand pounds I'll bring if you would fly to home for me,
And dress myself in men's attire and fight for liberty."

[Chorus]
Yes we are the boys of Wexford,
Who fought with heart and hand,
To burst in twain the galling chain,
And free our native land.

[Verse]
And then we left our cabins, boys, we left with right good will,
To see our friends and neighbours who were at Vinegar Hill,
A young man from our ranks, a cannon he let go,
And slapt it into Lord Mountjoy, a tyrant he laid low.

[Chorus]
Yes we are the boys of Wexford,
Who fought with heart and hand,
To burst in twain the galling chain,
And free our native land.

[Verse]
We bravely fought and conquered at Ross and Wexford town,
Three Bullet Gates for years to come will speak of our renown,
And if for want of leaders, we lost at Vinegar Hill,
We're ready for another fight, we love our country still.

[Chorus]
Yes we are the boys of Wexford,
Who fought with heart and hand,
To burst in twain the galling chain,
And free our native land.

[Chorus]
Yes we are the boys of Wexford,
Who fought with heart and hand,
To burst in twain the galling chain,
And free our native land.

[Outro]
To burst in twain the galling chain,
And free our native land.
